Glancing at my book shelf, the collection Dark Companions by Ramsey Campbell (stories all by Campbell) and the anthology New Terrors edited by Ramsey Campbell (stories by diverse hands, too numerous to list on the cover).
Off topic: Horror author H.P. Lovecraft was fond of 18th Century archaic English; after his death publishers listed collections of stories inspired by his works as “by H. P. Lovecraft and Divers Hands”. Not only has Divers Hands been listed as an author (shades of Ibidus!), but I have seen ads: “Buy The shuttered room, and other pieces by H. P. and Divers Hands Lovecraft”. Lovecraft’s wife was named Sonia.

Mystery of the Pretty Girls’ Vanishing Faces
Fiiive godd-essss-ess …
4 faded flowers
3 waterfalls
2 some kind o’ birds,
And a bigfoot on an Ellll Beee Ceeee.
This garden must have an infestation of face-eating fungus.
There’s an editor, but no author. Somebody skip a step?
My guess is that’s an indicator that it’s an anthology.

The garden was so packed with goddesses you couldn’t get another goddess in there with a crowbar.
And Loki was out there with a crowbar, sticking more goddesses in, until you couldn’t get a razor blade between ’em.
-with apologies to Mojo Nixon’s Where the Hell’s My Money?
Five Goddesses all with green borders. That is a killer Puzzle & Dragons team!
This doesn’t bother me, except for the two at the bottom where it seems like their heads are being sucked into wormholes.
There are some flaws here and some WTFs, but this isn’t horrible. It could be saved.
The horizontal one in the middle must be the Greek demigoddess Marieantoinettios, deity of decapitation.
